Personal care encompasses various activities and products essential for hygiene, health and beauty. Most products used in personal care can be rinsed off; some such as hand sanitizers or sunscreen lotion may need to be left on for longer.
Cosmetics and personal care products are mixtures of natural or synthetic chemical compounds used for cleaning, beautifying or changing appearance. They may also include absorbent products to control leakage, odour or comfort issues.
Skin Care
Before mass-market cosmetic products became widely available, women used homemade remedies to lighten freckles, reduce redness, smooth wrinkles and heal rashes. Our collection contains patent medicines from the 1800s which promise to clear blemishes, unclog pores, soothe itchy skin and create radiant and youthful complexions.
Current skin care concepts focus on effects produced by active ingredients delivered via vehicles that come into contact with target tissues directly, and which may profoundly alter its characteristics or functions. As a result, many skin care products fall under drug classification while others boast fantastical claims to their effectivity.
Selecting products appropriate to your skin type is essential in maintaining its equilibrium. For oily skin types, look for mattifying and non-comedogenic products while those with dry or sensitive skin should seek gentle cleansers and moisturizers.
Bath & Body
After a long and hectic day, few things are as soothing and rejuvenating as taking a hot bath or shower with the perfect bath and body product to complement. From natural soaps to luxurious body washes and lotions, you can indulge in premium products designed to leave your skin soft, smooth, and rejuvenated.
Shoppers who adore Bath & Body Works products (formerly part of L Brands alongside Victoria’s Secret before its separation), can often find that there’s always a sale happening somewhere within its stores. But when it comes to getting the best deals, knowing which products and sales events to target can make all the difference in getting great discounts. We consulted seven associates on how they make the most out of sales for guidance in finding and shopping the deals at these stores.
Anal Hygiene
Cleaning and caring for an anus regularly can help protect against infections, discomfort and itching. Hygiene should be top of mind for everyone; using the appropriate products makes this task simple and accessible to all.
Cleaning your anal area regularly with warm water can help prevent chafing and irritation, so use bidet or shower spray in the morning, along with gentle soaps like our Balancing Wash to cleanse.
Wipes that are fragrance and alcohol-free may also be effective, while perfumed talcum powder should be avoided, as it can gather in crevices and cause an allergic reaction. If itching occurs, consider using an anal moisturizer-containing lubricant; alternatively you could try an anal douche or enema (but be cautious not to overuse these treatments; excessive use can alter electrolytes).
Incontinence
Urinary incontinence affects over 12 million adults worldwide and ranges from light leaking to complete loss of bladder control. People affected may self-treat without seeking medical advice; specifically designed liners and pads designed for incontinence control often capture leakage while pulling moisture away from the skin to reduce friction, as well as irritation caused by itching.
Pads and pull-up pants come in a range of sizes and absorbency levels, perfect for day or overnight wear. They help prevent chafing and leakage while being machine washable/drier safe extending wear time.
Adult wipes are essential components of incontinence care and typically comprise of spunlaced or airlaid pulp nonwovens. Some variants resemble thinner baby wipes while others can feel heavier like washcloths.
